Just ordered the chameleon and OOmph motors today. Will update with more pics once all parts arrive and I start building it.

Just arrived in the mail today and man is this thing nice. Was able to assemble the frame and add the motors but still waiting on the FC to arrive from China.

All done and can't wait for the weather to clear up so I can fly her.

Sure didn and flying the crap out of it. It's my freeststylenquad now as I'm running a Tokio x and tokio XS for the fast stuff. Sold or selling everything else n

Looks great!! How does it fly?

Got mine ordered and on the way- ordered the oopmh 2205's and the Armattam esc's too- can't wait to build this one!

It flies great. Those oompmh motors have crazy punch, much more than the Emax RS2205S 2300KV Racing Edition's I have on my x210 build. You are going to have a blast with it.

cool!
i'm attempting a similar sort of build! BUT i'm a real newb. i have a question regarding connecting esc to my fc if you can help?
i've gone for dji snail propulsion with a streakf4 FC from unmannedtechshop.co.uk
I'm struggling to decide what to do with my signal cable. do i just tie off the ground and solder the white signal cable direct to my FC? it looks that way with this board but i'm just a little unsure because the esc signal cable has the connector on the end

That is the intended forward for the FC but if it makes the layout easier for you, you can position it any way you want and just set the forward position in betaflight.

No the back right motor is #1. Here is a diagram showing their positions and rotation. https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpropwashed.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F03%2F11-MotorsDirectionAndNumbers.png&f=1

aw man! thank you so much! there are a million youtube guides and step by step how-to videos, but to actually ask someone has been the most help i've had!

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
